After a big win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, the Spurs will look to continue on the winning track with a visit to a direct competitor for a play-in spot in the West. The Pelicans currently have the 10th best record in the conference and made a big addition at the deadline by trading for CJ McCollum, which shows making the playoffs is their goal. It’s exactly the type of game the Silver and Black has to win in order to have a chance to climb up the standings.
The Spurs won’t have two of their additions available, since Josh Richardson and Romeo Langford are back in San Antonio, but they will have Tomas Satoransky on their bench, as the guard will join the team for the matchup against his old club.
